Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 5701897, member: 994"] Here's what his bio for his "Special Assistant to the Athletic Director" says on the athletics department website: [URL unfurl="true"]https://cuse.com/staff-directory/jim-boeheim/15[/URL] There is no mention of fundraising responsibilities (or any role responsibilities for the position whatsoever.) It's just his bio... That is different than when his position was announced... they did release roles/responsibilities that included: [LIST] [*][B]Advisory Position: [/B]He provides counsel to the athletic department and assists with university initiatives. [*][B]Fundraising/Donor Relations: [/B]A primary focus is assisting with fundraising efforts and engaging with donors. [*][B]Mentorship:[/B] He supports the athletics department, including potentially mentoring new coaching staff. [*][B]Academic Role:[/B] In addition to his athletic role, Boeheim is an adjunct professor in the David B. Falk College of Sport, where he teaches a leadership class. [*][B]University Ambassador: [/B]He remains a visible, high-profile representative for the university. [/LIST] My guess is either he doesn't want to actually do all that stuff and really likes his gig doing color on games instead... and/or the department doesn't actually want him doing all that stuff either and that the responsibilities list was just a false list of responsibilities to make the position sound important when announced. Also, he's still doing the Leadership Class I believe... at least he was last Fall. There was a brief article about it [URL='https://news.syr.edu/2025/11/12/jim-boeheims-new-play-teaching-leadership-at-syracuse/']here[/URL]. (special props for guest cameo from Heather Lyke anyone??) In any event, those roles/responsibilities aren't described anywhere on the athletics website now... so yes, likely a ceremonial position with an athletics department office so he can be up on the hill when he wants to and/or for his teaching days.
